"Julian Reichelt is dethroned." So cheered the Berliner Zeitung a few days ago after it was revealed that Bild, Europe's largest newspaper, had been forced to sack its editor — and one of Germany's most popular journalists — following allegations made in a Ben Smith New York Times article of affairs with junior colleagues. The piece also suggested that Axel Springer SE, the German publishing giant that owns Bild, is out of touch with today's woke and metoo values. Moreover, a few weeks earlier, Springer announced it was going to purchase Politico, the U.S. politics website, for about $1B — the German publisher's largest ever investment. One more reason to adopt the new values that now dominate American capitalist culture. After all, as Ben Smith put it, an American manager would have been fired for as little as five percent of the allegations Reichelt faces.
All in all, we can say Springer has sacrificed at the altar of woke capitalism an excellent newspaper editor — or, in Springer boss Mathias Döpfner's words, "the last and only journalist in Germany who still courageously rebels against the new GDR authoritarian state."
Meanwhile, the debate is raging throughout the country about gender-neutral and inclusive language. Unfortunately, the whole matter is made more and more complicated by German grammar.
In France, the discussion is even more heated. Prominent French quarterly magazine Le Spectacle du Monde ran a few weeks ago a cover story titled "The Suicide of America." It blamed the U.S. retreat from Afghanistan on "a woke dictatorship" and questioned whether the American "empire was collapsing." In the same issue, an article faulted American universities as islands of extremism, where even students' Halloween costumes are policed, citing Yale University as a place where "offensive" costume-wearers are punished.

Yes, that plus de industrialization and TOO MUCH LEGAL immigration.
for the most part — yes.
America as currently a fresh dead corpse that is basically being picked apart by the maggots/bugs/insects/vultures for whatever has value.
We are currently a new body lying in a Georgia field in August—having our flesh, organs, and blood ravaged. lots to offer for now for the feasters
Eventually, we’ll be nothing more then dusty bones
I know others on here had stated in the past, that Trump was simply a clog in the drain of the destruction of the country. Theres only so much one man can do against a tsunami.
I no longer consider the USA a country in the traditional sense of the word. A country has strong borders, shared culture, history and language. I consider the USA more of an “Economic Zone” - North American Economic Zone - NAEZ.
We are heading toward a dystopian future.
“Who is John Galt”
If America is LUCKY, in 10 years, we won’t be any worse than Argentina is now - a once First World, top-tier, country destroyed by its own politics and now permanently stuck at Third World status, with a useless currency.
...if we’re lucky.
US has gone Tribal. No longer “United” in values and purpose
more like the CHOP zone
bro, i’ve lived in Israel for over 15 years. Dollar to shekel is at it’s lowest ever. 3.10 shekels to the dollar. Used to be almost 4.50
the Chinks are forcing this unsustainable sustainable/renewable energy on us so we can suffer while they pilfer our resources for themselves. I really wouldnt be surprised if “Biden” starts allowing Chinese military onto US soil under the guise of “climate cooperation”
Good analysis. Bummer on the currency, as I want to get there once it’s possible to fly without a burka.
By the way, did the funding for the Iron Dome replacement hardware ever come through? I know The Squad initially blocked it. And then Rand Paul went into his Hitler appeasement mode and blocked it again. But I haven’t heard since.
“If there are degrees of evil, it is hard to say who is more contemptible: the brute who assumes the right to force the mind of others or the moral degenerate who grants to others the right to force his mind.”

Yes.
When America sneezes, the rest of the world catches cold.
